That
Hi,
"The world is full of people who lacked the good sense to choose parents in Surrey rather than Syria. Just a few are privileged to choose where they live or, in the case of courageous colleagues such as Marie Colvin, where they die. But the helpless citizens of Homs have no choice at all. Unlucky, that." [From The Independent.]
What does the pronoun "that" refer to? Does it refer to the lack of the choice or to the whole sentence (situation) But the helpless citizens of Homs have no choice at all ?
Thank you.
